Algeria has 59 power plants in this atlas, with 15,874 MW of reported capacity. The largest listed plant is Hadjret Ennous (1,200 MW, gas; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are gas, solar and hydro. Grid operators listed here include Sonelgaz Transport électricité et Opérateur Système. Electricity is regulated by CREG. Renewables supplied 1.1% of its electricity in 2024.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
